 How the Nikon Perfect Focus System Works

  • Uses IR Light Source: Employs infrared light to illuminate samples, reducing photodamage and bleaching in live cells which enhances their viability during extended observations.
  • Dedicated Optical Path: Incorporates a dichroic mirror in the optical pathway that directs IR light to the sample while allowing visible light to pass through, optimizing multi-modal imaging techniques.
  • Reflected Light Detection: Detects IR light reflections from the interface between the cover glass and the sample, critical for maintaining focus.
  • Focus Offset Detection: Continuously monitors the position of reflected IR light to identify any changes in focus or positioning due to environmental factors or equipment movement.
  • Automatic Correction: Automatically adjusts the Z-Axis in real-time to correct any detected focus shifts or drifts, ensuring consistent, high-quality imaging.

 

 Benefits of Nikon Perfect Focus System(PFS):

  • Easy Sample Swapping at Various Focal Ranges: Enables quick refocusing by swapping samples within the predetermined focal planes of the PFS range.
  • Extended Observations: Facilitates the continuous monitoring of live cells for prolonged periods.
  • Reduced Phototoxicity: Precision in maintaining focus diminishes the need for frequent manual adjustments, thus decreasing light exposure.
  • Automated Scanning of Multi-well Plates: Provides automated, consistent focusing across different wells in a multi-well plate.
  • Embryo Imaging Capabilities: Offers the necessary stability for imaging developing embryos over time.
  • Neuron Activity Research: Allows the system to persistently focus on specific brain regions or neural cultures for extended durations.
  • Decreased Photobleaching: Helps minimize light exposure by maintaining focus with fewer adjustments.
  • Enhanced Z-stacking: Guarantees consistent focusing across multiple z-planes.
  • Stable Time-lapse Imaging: Essential for capturing consistent focus in time-lapse sequences to accurately document temporal changes.
  • Surface Topography Analysis: Critical for precisely mapping surface topographies to understand material characteristics better.
  • Monitoring Drug Responses: Enables detailed tracking of cellular reactions to drug treatments over time.

How do you pack? Have you previously packed and shipped a Nikon Eclipse TE2000-E Microscope? Do you ship Internationally?

Packing

  • Smaller microscopes ship via UPS Parcel Delivery with adequate packing material and a strong box. Or, when combined with other orders, it may be packed in a crate.
  • Most larger microscopes ship in fully enclosed ISPM15-certified wooden crates with proper padding underneath, and the sides have moving components braced.
  • Accessories are packed safely in boxes with padding and then safely packed inside the crate.
  • We may not use a crate for local deliveries to save you money *if delivered by us.
  • We often use “tilt’ & “shock” indicators on the crates to ensure the crate has not been excessively tilted and dropped where equipment may suffer damage.
  • Photos are taken during the packing process to make sure nothing is missed.

USA/Canada Shipping

  • Within the US and Canada, we will ship via selected freight carriers. We do not use low-price/high-damage carriers as we want the equipment to get safely to you.

International Shipping

  • Internationally, we will only ship via Air Freight or Air Parcel (such as UPS or DHL), which provides reliability, no exposure to Ocean weather, and timely delivery.
    We have extensive experience packing and shipping fragile microscopes globally.

Our experience and process

  • We have safely packed and shipped thousands of sensitive analytical instruments.

 

How much will I save buying it pre-owned, and is it worth it?

A lot…and it is undoubtedly worth it, and here is why. Feel free to ask for feedback from hundreds of customers who bought from us.

 

  • When compared to buying a new one, you will save up to 60% to 80% and have plenty of funds left over for an additional instrument or two.
  • You will get our standard warranty, plus, when available, an option to obtain an extended warranty agreement.
  • Know that your microscope was tested and working the day it left our facility and is covered if there are faults.
Sustainability
  • Well, this one is easy: buying a pre-owned microscope is great for the planet; you are reducing unnecessary waste, CO2 output, and water use that would be used during the manufacturing process.

 

I have more questions; I want to receive a formal quote.

Absolutely! Please give us a call (1-617-397-3486) or complete this form to get your questions answered or receive a formal Quote.

Freight Microscope Packaging Process

At our company we take packing and shipping very seriously.
No one wants to spend thousands of dollars and receive a damaged instrument.

Our process involves evaluating every microscope and its components to determine the safest positioning and structure for packing.
Most of our microscopes will ship in an ISPM-15 wood crate made from ½” plywood and 1x4 framing. (Crates are Internationally Compliant).

During microscope packing we often disconnect any protruding components like lamp housings, sliders, eyepieces, light guides.
We provide easy reassembly instructions to reinstall such components.

Components and accessories not installed on the microscope are bubble wrapped and packed in individual boxes.
Any remaining space inside the crates is filled with bubble wrap to prevent any movement and provide for additional cushion.

All of our crates ship with carrier instructions “Do Not Stack“ and include visual customer reminders to inspect the shipment on arrival.
Crates are also marked with instructions to retain packaging material until the instrument is inspected/verified and warranty period passed.

 







 

Parcel Microscope Packaging Process

Same as with freight shipments we take packing and shipping very seriously.
No one wants to spend thousands of dollars and receive a damaged instrument.

Our process includes evaluating every microscope and its components to determine the best shipment and packing method.

Microscopes that are small enough to ship via parcel (UPS/FEDEX) are often taken apart with all components safely wrapped with bubble wrap.
Safety of shipment is a number one priority so we may often pack microscopes into multiple boxes to assure safe delivery.

Boxes have a foam bottom liner and are filled with bubble wrap to prevent any movement of content inside during transit to your location.
